I know his uncle very well a big Boro fan who's been through the mill for a few years.
Last I heard he was doing well and back at work .

He stayed in our Hotel at the play off final , I was ill and stayed in my room all night and my dad ( who didn't really know him ) went downstairs for a couple of pints and he called my Dad into his company rather than see my dad sat on his own , which was a nice touch .

Actually we nearly ended up forcing his door open to get in we where given our key before them and when we got to the room we couldn't get in and my dad was barging it a bit with his shoulder .Me being ill left it to him and didn't really listen much either when the lady gave us the key .I kept saying gave we got the right room and he kept replying yes .Then we found out by his uncle it was his room our dad had got the 6 and the 9 the wrong way round . Had of listened though he wouldn't have needed to check the key we'd have just went to the correct room .
